Another project we were assigned to create was an interactive worksheet. I chose to use second grade math as the subject area. I went through and decided that I wanted to use the "Algebra" standard and create a worksheet using sequences. An example of it can be seen below.
I enjoyed creating this interactive worksheet. It was very interesting to put in the equations to make everything work. I got the equations in pretty easily without much problem, but even if something ended up wrong, it was interesting to go through and find what caused the problem. I thought it was fun to see how these type of worksheets work, and I think that my future students will enjoy it as well. I could use this in the future for many different subjects in my classroom. This will give my young students a fun way to practice concepts, and use the computer for things besides playing games.
Being the first time I had created a worksheet using Microsoft Excel, this was a very long and tedious process. There are so many small things that seem minor, but can cause problems with the worksheet. One thing I had a problem with was making sure that the worksheet would be on just one page when printed. I don't think that would be a problem if I just use it in digital form because I do not have to much information on the worksheet. As a result of trying to fit it all on one printed page, the spacing is small between the rule and the sequence, which can be confusing. However, on the computer it all fits on the screen at one time with adequate spacing. So for future uses, to make the process easier, I will not have the interactive worksheet printed off. Other than that, I would not change anything else about the process.
